Zingerman's Coffee Company. http://www.zingermanscoffee.com/If you go the second Saturday of the month at 11:00AM you can take a tour of the roaster and have a sample. Their guys (and gals) are pretty good baristas and the owners run brewing and espresso classes.

Lab in Ann Arbor is decent. They have a good product, but I don't feel like there is consistent training amongst their staff. http://www.labannarbor.com/

Also, try the (espresso) bar. It's in the Braun Court near Zingerman's Deli. It's a quaint little spot ran out of a home by a couple of really nice young people. They give you a great product and excellent service. http://www.facebook.com/TheEspressoBar?fref=ts

Ever hear of a coffee shop that can't bag up a pound of what they are pulling? That is what I got from the uglymugcafe. They spro blend was good but no way it makes up for the piss poor organization and attitude. Done

Yes i have a reason for leaving SCG off my list, yes it is my opinion, yes it is subjective as opinions are by definition, no don't start a flame war because you disagree.

So today I made it to Roosroast in Ann Arbor and can you believe it a roaster that will actually sell you a pound of of espresso. I showed up at the local and the roaster dude was gone but the barista invited me back to check out the roasting operation, comped me an doppio macchiato that was very solid, sold me a pound and made a customer.

Hell i was even wearing suit and did not even matter, imagine that.

Another shop well worth a try if you're near campus is Comet Coffee - a small but very nice shop in Nickels Arcade off State Street. They're not a roaster (most of the coffee had been brought in from 49th Parallel IIRC) but my drink was carefully prepared and very good.
